With this polling Ron Paul can no longer be considered a long-shot

[TRIGRHAPPY]

With this kind of showing, Ron Paul's candidacy can no longer be accurately characterized as a long shot. In fact, at this point in the 2008 campaign season, just fifteen months ahead of the November general election, John McCain was ranked fourth nationally in the Republican primary, polling at 11%. At third place with 14% nationally, Ron Paul is actually outperforming the candidate who would become the GOP's eventual 2008 nominee.

It is a statistical reality that Ron Paul now has as much or even more of a chance of winning the Republican nomination as John McCain had in August of 2007, putting the Texas congressman with an independent streak (you might even call him a maverick) quite firmly in play.

Loved this article. Isn't it a shame when you actually get ecstatic when the media simply states the obvious? It's so rare these days.

The Independent is more independent. I'd like to hear Hannity say that.

Have you seen the latest edition of Newsweek, and how they portrayed Michele Bachmann? You could have just switched the names- the hit pieces against any true conservative!
